Abstract		We consider a hybrid system (mixed state: discrete and continuous) for which the continuous dynamics model quasilinear transport on a graph and the discrete dynamics model a sequence of control actions. switching between available `modes' of the system. After commenting on the modelling, we show the well- posedness of the system (with switching as data), existence of an optimal control, and "hybrid well-posedness" of a feedback implementation.
